Never saw this post sorry. Post the home.php so I can see what it looks like.

sorry, didn't explain myself properly, its not much in it, its got nothing to do with phpbb any way, the home.php that is, but i need to get the newest 5 topics from forum id number #1 , and display it like the tables in the iframe on [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]
Here is the current thing i got

<?php

require_once("db.php");

mysql_connect(localhost,$user,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT * FROM phpbb_posts LIMIT 5";
mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();

?>

OK a suggestion. Work on the sql first pull the fields then echo them to make sure your getting the info. Then you can work on the cosmetics.
